1 GLBT RELIGION & SPIRITUALITY - A SELECTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY: 2016–2020 Consult also the updated lists: 1950-2000, 2001-2005, 2006-2010 and 2011-2015. This selective book list indicates the large number and wide range of published viewpoints available to lesbians and gay men interested in exploring their lives as spiritual journeys. The bibliography lists author, title, publisher, and date of publication. One should refer to publishers or book suppliers for content summaries, reader’s reviews, available formats, pricing and ordering information. Specifically excluded from the list of published resources are: novels and poetry; items written in languages other than English; brochures, study guides, and tracts; articles in periodicals; books exclusively addressing the spiritual dimensions of the AIDS epidemic or the experience of living with AIDS; doctrinal statements and position papers about gays and lesbians adopted by religious institutions; and blatantly homophobic treatments of the subject. Some of the books listed were produced by publishers affiliated with religious institutions, and many of the titles listed were not written by lesbians or gay men. Book titles are arranged alphabetically by title within the categories listed below. With a few exceptions, titles are listed in only one of the categories. Because not every title was examined, some titles may be inappropriately categorized, or could be categorized differently. Note: Electronic books are not included. Printed items of less than 50 pages are counted as pamphlets or booklets, and are, generally, not included. A select few of these short items are included and the number of pages is indicated. A book is available from major booksellers when it is added to the list. Some included books have one or two chapters on GLBT Religion and Spirituality, and may also contain discussions of other issues as well. Generally, used books are not included.
